Title: How to get an "Avatar"
Post by: e1ghtSpace on January 04, 2015, 09:53:53 PM
First find some ASCII art of whatever you want to be your avatar.

Then add this:

Code:
[font=monospace][size=1pt]
<ASCII avatar>
[/font][/size]

And you get this:

          7O
   @     GGG
  7R   CQGGQ
 SGR  GGGGGQ
7GGR #GGGGGQ      3GGGGGGS    SGC

Thank you for the explanation but it seems kinda not too clear, for example are these tiger heads in your signature?

Very cool. Thanks for the info. Im sure this will supplement not being able to have real avatars and maybe we will see something more than just text on alot of em

Nope, there is no way to get a picture avatar any more.

You are wrong, in the new forum software it can be possible to "have an avatar". (or maybe I didn't understand what do you mean).

The new forum is coming at an unknown time and the avatar requirement is only something that is tentative (although maybe theymos can confirm that the avatar feature has already been coded and is functioning).

Either way it is not currently possible to get an avatar

I was refering to this version. I am not actually sure whether the new forum will have avatars or not.

Thanks for sharing the code but for me using a picture would be better rather than an avatar. There is no harm if one uploads a picture directly and so no clue why this forum does not allow it.

They don't allow it because someone used that to hack the forum some time ago, I think. : /
So for now we have text avatars! xD

One can hack a forum uploading an avatar picture?

Yeah, one time someone found an exploit where he embed javascript (I think) code into a picture which he used for his avatar, and the javascript took the forum down.

Yeah but keep in mind that if you ever wanted to sell the account then accounts with Avatars are less desirable.  Or at least it used to be like that because you couldn't change avatars.. not sure if that's still a thing

First find some ASCII art of whatever you want to be your avatar.

-snip-

Which you are able to put into your signature, thus getting you an avatar. You're welcome!

Thanks for sharing the trick.

Would this work with 'Personal Message' or 'Location' field?
I don't want to mess up my signature space and also it would be cool to have the avatar under username rather than under my posts.

No you can put in your personal message only a cert number of characters , and obviously the bbcode tag  will not function.

Correct. I tried it before reading your post, but failed as expected.

Those fields accept only certain number of characters and as you said, BB Codes don't work.
